Outsourcing And Obama Dominate Rowdy First Debate In Georgia Senate Race
By Amanda Terkel
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) were not on stage Tuesday night for the first Georgia Senate debate, but they might as well have been.
Republican David Perdue brought up the top Democrats over and over during the hour-long showdown, insisting that his opponent for the open seat, Democrat Michelle Nunn, would be nothing but a rubber stamp for their policies.
"David has talked about the failed government policies of President Obama and Harry Reid. In fact, I'm not sure that he recognizes that he's not running against Harry Reid or Barack Obama, he's running against me," said Nunn, who has tried to position herself as a moderate who would work across the aisle if elected, in the model of her father, former Sen. Sam Nunn (D-Ga.).
"Michelle, I have a lot of respect for you, but you're dead wrong: I am absolutely running against Barack Obama and Harry Reid," replied Perdue. "Make no mistake -- no amount of false advertising can remove the fact that Barack Obama hand-picked you, he hand-funded you, he's mentoring you."
WMAZ-13 in Macon hosted Tuesday night's debate at the Georgia National Fair, which was filled with raucous supporters who loudly cheered or booed the candidates. Libertarian candidate Amanda Swafford also participated in the debate.
While Perdue was making Nunn seem as blue as possible, Nunn focused on making sure her opponent couldn't run away from his recent comments about outsourcing. Perdue has run on his record as a businessman, having served as CEO of Dollar General and Pillowtex, among other companies.
This week, Politico reported on comments Perdue made in 2005 during a deposition about the collapse of Pillowtex. At the time, when asked about outsourcing, he replied, "Yeah, I spent most of my career doing that."
Democrats quickly jumped on Perdue's remarks, but the candidate didn't back down.
"Defend it? I'm proud of it," Perdue told reporters Monday afternoon. "This is a part of American business, part of any business. Outsourcing is the procurement of products and services to help your business run. People do that all day."
But Perdue was less interested in talking about his proud career of outsourcing Tuesday night, even though Nunn and the moderators repeatedly brought it up.
One of the first questions to Perdue was on the issue, allowing him a chance to defend outsourcing.
"Don't be confused, folks. This is another attempt by my desperate opposition to use one line out of a 186-page document to define a career," replied Perdue. He then went on to talk about "bad government policies" and "tax policy."
Perdue was asked about outsourcing again later in the debate, pressed to give an answer about what public policy on outsourcing should look like. The candidate repeated that "bad government policy" was decimating U.S. industry.
"Don't be misled by false statements about what I have said or what I haven't said about my career -- one line out of a 185-page document that was taken from 10 years ago," he added.
According to HuffPost Pollster, which averages the publicly available polling in the race, Perdue has a 4-point lead over Nunn. The race is to replace retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R).

|By YourCosplay
Whether you're interested in comic books, anime, anime conventions or just cosplay conventions, there are a number of different events that you can attend in Germany. In addition to the more popular events like AnimagiC and German Comic- Con, there are some less well-known events as well.

AnimagiC is a three-day event. It is divided into four levels of programming. The event takes place at an exhibition hall in Bonn, Germany. This venue is called the Beethoven-Hall. It is one of the largest convention venues in Germany.
AnimagiC is a non-profit organization. They have a website that gives detailed information about the event and how to purchase tickets.

AnimagiC is also one of the most popular anime conventions in the world. There are currently about 12,000 attendees. It is one of the largest and most popular anime conventions in Europe. It is a great way to meet other anime fans and to celebrate Japanese culture.
German Comic-Con
AnimagiC, formerly known as Anime XXXX, is one of the largest anime conventions in Germany. It attracts thousands of visitors each year. It also offers cosplay, games, outdoor activities, anime screenings, and live concerts. The event takes place in Bonn, Germany, in an exhibition hall.
The event is held the last weekend of August every year. In order to get the most out of the event, you should check out the schedule and buy tickets. Tickets are available online and at the door. The website also lists the rules in German.
It is important to remember that pyrotechniques are not allowed. Also, show fights are forbidden. The use of real weapons and ammunition is also restricted. Costumes that include wings are allowed but cannot exceed the maximum height of two meters. Flexible wings are allowed for photos taken outside the venue.
There are also some thematic areas that are dedicated to video games and animation products. Some of these areas are set up by not-for-profit associations of fans. These areas also offer an opportunity to meet the developers of video games and animation products.
AnimagiC is divided into three days: Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Each day has its own special events. Typically, Saturday features a cosplay contest. The contestants may compete in teams or as individuals. They may also perform a skit or dance. They may also be interviewed by the master of ceremonies. The audience is also given an opportunity to take photos of the cosplayers.
Sunday is a more relaxing day. The event has fewer visitors and it is more quiet. The ticket price is a bit higher than the other days. It is a good idea to buy a weekend pass if you want to attend the entire event. You can also purchase a VIP pass that allows you to enter the event on Saturday and Sunday without waiting in line. Depending on the type of pass, you may be entitled to a photoshoot voucher for each guest that attends.
It is also possible to purchase an all-inclusive pass that gives you access to all four events during the year. This is a good deal, but you will have to pay a lot more than if you were to purchase only one event. The cost for this pass includes the standard German Comic-Con bag, a lanyard, and a special VIP entrance on Sunday. It also includes autograph vouchers for all guests.
Xmas Con
Xmas Con is a weihnachtliche Anime-Convention held annually in December. In addition to a slew of cosplayers, the German Xmas Con is also the site of an impressive exhibition of all things anime.

To cap off the experience, you can also win a bevy of anime themed prizes and swag. If you're lucky, you may even score a prized possession in the form of a swanky red carpet treatment.
The convention takes place in the Coburg Kongresshaus on December 2, and is a must for anyone with an interest in Anime, anime based movies, or anime themed gifts and trinkets. You can even snag a photo of your cosplay-clad self to show off to your friends or foes. The best part is that you won't have to wait for hours on end to get your yen worth. If you're lucky, you may also be in the presence of Cookie the Christmasmasmascotchen, a sculpted version of the eponymous icon.
The convention is also a good place to sample the latest in gaming consoles, tablets, and mobile devices, not to mention a host of gizmos for the homebodies.

Romance Books for Teenagers
3.94 (5,508 ratings by Goodreads)
By (author) Laura Silverman
Available. Expected delivery to the United States in 15-20 business days.
Fans of Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han will feel right at home in this heartfelt coming-of-age story about a homesick girl who gives up her summer plans to help her distant family-only to find everything she was looking for, including love.
Ocean breeze in her hair and sand between her toes, Anise can't wait to spend the summer before her senior year surfing and hanging out on the beach with friends. Santa Cruz is more than her home-it's her heart. But when her aunt, a single mother, is in a serious car accident, Anise must say goodbye to California to help care for her three young cousins.
Landlocked Nebraska is the last place Anise wants to be. Sure, she loves her family, but living in her mother's childhood home-the same mother who disappeared out of her life when she was born-brings up memories and feelings she would rather forget. And with every photo and text, her friends back home feel further away.
Then she meets Lincoln, a charismatic, one-armed skater who dares her to swap her surfboard for a skateboard. Anise isn't one to shy away from a challenge. Her days with Lincoln are the most fun she's had all summer and skating together makes her feel more alive and free than she ever has.
Because sometimes the only way to find your footing is to let go.

"Debut novelist Silverman realistically captures Anise's love for her surfing life and the terrible sacrifice she makes when leaving it behind for a whole summer, and her relationships with her family are bittersweet and loving, giving her depth of character. Meanwhile, Lincoln is a charmer, and thanks for Silverman's excellent portrayal of a boy who is not defined by his disability, like Anise, reader will easily forget that he is missing an arm. Hand to fans of Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han" - Booklist "Anise's reluctance to leave, rooted in worries of forgetting home and being forgotten, will resonate with readers who've ever been homesick...A quick summer read to reassure teens who worry about college or blooming where they're planted." - Kirkus Reviews "Silverman's debut is an entertaining and well-done coming-of-age story featuring a likable protagonist who learns that home is less about place and more about being surrounded by loved ones and friends. Silverman does a commendable job showcasing a diverse cast of characters, and the interracial romance is sweet and clean. The situations feel genuine and realistic...Those who enjoy Huntley Fitzpatrick and Jenny Han should give this one a try. There's lots to like here, and Silverman proves she is a rising author to watch out for." - RT Book Reviews "Silverman's debut has wide appeal and will be an easy one to recommend this summer to fans of contemporary YA" - Teen Librarian Toolbox "A novel that reads like a warm summer afternoon, Laura Silverman's debut is a charming novel full of diverse characters. It's the sort of story that feels so very real, with teens wrestling with complicated families and distance from loved ones." - Paste Magazine "Readers will empathize with Anise as she explores this different side of her life. The book features a cast of diverse characters and a fresh take on sports (surfing and skateboarding)... worthy of a spot in any teen's beach bag." - School Library Journal

Formula 1 & the carbon footprint
This was not an interview. It was a request for a comment from the worlds most successful British Formula One driver, Nigel Mansell.
When I asked on twitter if people wanted to ask Nigel anything @Solobasssteve said.. "Ask him about the carbon footprint of Formula 1. This is what he said.
Written by Documentally · Categorized: Blog · Tagged: celebrity, f1, nigel mansell, Video, VloMo09
Ali Smith says
What Mansell didn't say is that the vast majority of carbon emissions that are associated with F1 are not produced by the cars themselves. They are produced by fans driving to the races, and from the electricity needed to watch the races on TV. If the teams are guilty of anything it is the amount of air travel needed to transport all the people and kit needed at each race (some of the teams are looking to address this by taking more budget airline flights).The carbon emissions produced by the F1 cars themselves are minuscule in proportion to fan's emissions, and so in this respect F1's total emissions are probably *smaller* than, say, football's total emissions. Take for example the English Premiership which has 20 teams, the smallest stadium is Fratton Park in Portsmouth, which has a capacity of 20 000. This means that for the Premiership (if we take the smallest stadium as benchmark) has approx 400 000 people watching each weekend. There are 38 weekends of Premier League football, meaning 15.2 million people watch football live every year.The largest circuit in F1 (which I'm pretty sure is Yas Marina) has seating capacity of 40 000, there are 17 races each year. This means approx 680 000 people go to watch F1 live each year. As you can see these are *very* rough estimates, but even with the lowest estimate of football's attendance and F1's highest attendance there are far more people driving to football than F1. This doesn't take into account TV's carbon emissions or many other factors, I admit, but it does give a rough estimate.
F1Times says
Just a quick note regarding the largest F1 circuit, you say Yas Marina, but that is in fact one of the smallest. Silverstone, for example accommodates 100,000 fans on an F1 weekend, and usually sells out.But otherwise some good points 🙂
You know what I've just had exactly the same conversation with my Dad – I still think my points are valid. I didn't include any of the fans driving to Championship, League One, Two, La Liga etc etc

» Warrior's Work
Peter Drucker on Strategic Planning
It is remarkable how the same lessons need to be rediscovered again and again. Sun Tzu dealt with the confusion between a warrior's adaptive strategy in dealing with competing people and long-term planning in dealing with objects. We are still dealing with it today.
In this 1973 book, Management Tasks and Responsibilities, Peter Drucker found the same problem in the confusion that management had about planning for objects and planning for people. He listed four misconceptions arising from the term "strategic planning." He said:
Strategic planning is not a box of tricks, a bundle of techniques.
Strategic planning is not forecasting.
Strategic planning does not deal with future decisions.
Strategic planning is not an attempt to eliminate risk.
While there are techniques in competitive strategy as there are in manufacturing, they work very differently. Competitive techniques always depend on the big picture. As opposed to "a bundle of techniques," Drucker describes strategy from a warrior's perspective of "analytical thinking and commitment of resources to action." He describes attempts at predicting the future as "foolish," because it is of little use to people who seek to "innovate and change the ways in which people work and live."
Drucker saw strategy in terms of the decisions we make today about a future that is inherently uncertain. This is the realm of unpredictable people not predictable objects. Most importantly, Drucker recognized that strategy cannot eliminate risks. Because we cannot predict the future, risks must be taken. The purpose of strategy is to not to eliminate risk, but in Drucker's words, to take the "right risks." Innovation is at is core, an act of discovery, in which we must embrace the uncertainty of the environment, exploring it for opportunities.
Drucker's definition of "strategic planning" is what we simply call Sun Tzu's Rules.
"Strategic planning is the continuous process of making present entrepreneurial (risk-taking) decisions systematically and with the greatest knowledge of their futurity; organizing systematically the efforts needed to carry out these decisions; and measuring the results of these decisions against the expectations through organized, systematic feedback."
In other words, it is the science of making good decisions about the future.
In his analysis, Drucker covers several of key factors first identified by Sun Tzu. Agreeing with Sun Tzu, he says that it "starts with the mission of the organization." After that, a strategy must consider the climate, what is changing. He describes decision-making as "a time machine which synchronizes into the present a great number of divergent time spans." His focus on decision-making is about the warrior as an active element. In describing the specific methods of strategy, he even touches on Sun Tzu's idea of analysis being an act of relative comparison.
"Some of the most important questions in strategic planning can be phrased only in terms such as 'larger' or 'smaller,' sooner' or 'later,' and some equally important areas cannot be quantified at all. They can be handled only as restraints, or parameters, but not as factors in the equation itself."
Like Sun Tzu, Drucker also saw this decision-making as a process of innovation. The key is what we choose to do differently. Drucker described the essential questions as, "What new and different things do we have to do, and when?" And that it wasn't only about what we decide about doing but about what we fail to decide to do.
"It is meaningless to speak of short-range and long-range plans. There are plans that lead to action today - and they are true plans, true strategic decisions. And there are plans that talk about action tomorrow - they are dreams, if not pretexts for nonthinking, nonplanning, nondoing."
With Sun Tzu's Golden Key Strategy, we seek to move firmly into the area of doing rather than planning.

20th Century Women Mike Mills
Mike Mills' lovingly detailed dramedy 20th Century Women may tread familiar territory in terms of its coming-of-age narrative that's been poured over countless times; yet, its bright, expansive scope and attentive, erudite ear define the complex relationships of a non-traditional family in 1979 Santa Barbara, California, as a remedy to watered-down female characterizations typically relegated to ancillary plots and the creeping male gaze. Despite the man in the director's chair, the film unironically yields to the composure of its two female producers, editor, and multi-generational cast of predominant women in a love letter to his mother and sort of reconstruction of Mills' own childhood experiences, a logical continuation of the first-person fatherly affairs in his last effort, Beginners (2010).
The foci of the film also serendiptiously resemble the interwoven narrative about the modern personal and professional struggles in Kelly Reichardt's Certain Women (2016), as if Mills' vision is a thirty-seven-year retroactive chronicle. But while the title 20th Century Women may initially promise a film somehow exclusive and all-encompassing, it quickly favors a coexistence of voices in the family life and bond between progressive fifty-five-year-old mother Dorothea Fields (the hyper-conscious Annette Bening) and her fifteen-year-old son Jamie (Lucas Jade Zumann). Steadily, it evolves into something even more inclusive in terms of gender and community that punctuates the mother-son's forty-year age gap.
In Dorothea's prevailing point of view, which radiates the dichotomous energy of determination and loneliness, she becomes struck with inadequacy in a world whose behavior seems increasingly arbitrary and alien with its burgeoning punk movement and social chaos. In the aftermath of a life-threatening incident, Dorothea is compelled to recruit two younger women, anarchic twenty-four-year-old feminist and current lodger Abbie (Greta Gerwig), and Jamie's precocious but troubled platonic friend Julie (Elle Fanning), two years his senior, to help mold him into a "good man." With this simple premise, Mills riffs on the age-old proverb that it takes a "village to raise a child" with a small cast of headstrong women. The additional twist is that Jamie already exhibits a perfectly normal curiosity from their natural input; she just feels the need to formally intervene. And while her existential crises could be established as a direct line to her status as a single mother, the film avoids condescending to her, adhering to an overarching sanguine psychology of her proven perseverance.
The subtle tonal sway is the most impressive achievement in Mills' emotionally genuine screenplay, which generously offers intelligently sketched series of tête-à-têtes and imaginative Wes Anderson-like voiceover recollections. They foster greater intimacy with not only the characters as individuals but in the grander unity of relationships. The film's manipulated visuals in transitional sequences, kissed with chromatic fast-motion blur, are further padded with twinkling Air-inspired ambient synth music from Roger Neill, collectively augmenting an unshakable wistfulness that permeates even the most carefree jaunt up or down the Coast. Photographic slideshows additionally fill the contours of the frame to not only relay the truth of identity and depth of Abbie's passionate hobby but to demonstrate the tragedy in trying to reach the everlasting through pop cultural impermanence.
What sustains, though, is the emphasis on the traits and compassion that will give purpose to Jamie's conscientious development. But 20th Century Women never settles on that as an endpoint, and instead continues to shift between the perspectives of the women through an enriching spectrum. Whether it's insight into Julie's admission that strength is a man's most purposeful quality or it's contained in the anthology of writings in Abbie's copy of Sisterhood is Powerful (1970), these liberating reflections of personality and resilience are as poignant as they are warmly amusing. While boisterous moments are often tracked to the sounds of punk and post-punk music of the era, including a cherished vinyl comparison of early Black Flag and Talking Heads, the film's hushed heart in Julie's secret late-night climbs into Jamie's second-story room, Sam Anders style, prove to be as captivating as any dynamic dance. Mills' love for language spills into his decade-encapsulating inclusion of Carter's 'Crisis of Confidence' speech in July '79, which now echoes in the twenty-first century of bitter divisiveness and misinformation. Beyond mere nostalgia, there's true comfort to be found within the film's timeline of welling humanity.

the How Well Do You Know Kistaro Windrider? test.
Tough questions you got there .. mmm, at least I got a minimally passing grade.
As a note, for the one's you got wrong, you picked all the answers I put in there to fool people who were simply guessing.
Not bad, though, not bad... and as I mentioned, I still don't know how I made a 79 on your test.
Although you DID totally blow the other two. FourOUT became a staple of the TI-86 during my time at Lindbergh High, and I play frequently at Pogo.
What was the third question that I got wrong?
As for the question about gaming places, I knew two of the answers were wrong quite obviously since I've also played on them. I think I first thought the correct answer, but changed it.
Most of the question that included the calculator program seemed fairly reasonable to me. I thought you'd be trying to catch people out, so didn't go for the obvious answer. Perhaps it was right.
And yes, I have eaten worms. Well boiled, chopped up into pieces, and baked into a batch of cookies. Mrs. Thomas (my science teacher from 2nd and 3rd grade, to be replaced in 4th grade by the worst teacher I ever had) made good worm cookies.
Ah, I guess that would explain my subconscious urging me towards that particular answer.

2016 Florida Presidential Primary: Out of January, But Confined to March?
Sine die day 2013 in the Florida legislature was a typical last legislative day of the session in that there was the usual hustle and bustle of pushing some measures -- often complex -- through at the last minute. Late Friday in Tallahassee that included an omnibus elections reform bill that ultimately included a provision altering the dynamics of the Sunshine state presidential primary.
Early reports out of the capital (see Miami Herald) seem to have misinterpreted both the practical application of the bill and its implications (...likely or otherwise). First, here are the changes deeply nestled in an amendment to HB 7013 [scroll down to line 1005 on p. 37]:
Each political party other than a minor political party shall, at the presidential preference primary, elect one person to be the party's candidate for nomination for President of the United States or select delegates to the party's national nominating convention, as provided by party rule. The presidential preference primary shall be held in each year the number of which is a multiple of 4 on the first Tuesday that the rules of the major political parties provide for state delegations to be allocated without penalty. Any party rule directing the vote of delegates at a national nominating convention shall reasonably reflect the results of the presidential preference primary, if one is held.
FHQ will spare everyone a cut and paste of the struck through portions of the original bill that were changed, but I do want to drive home one very important point about the transition called for in the above legislation: The changes to this bill did not and do not eliminate (or nix) the early presidential primary in Florida. The changes made to the election law two years ago already accomplished that, or at the very least provided for the possibility of that (impermanent) outcome. The law, as altered in 2011, laid the groundwork for a handpicked committee -- the Presidential Preference Primary Date Selection Committee (PPPDSC) -- to select (by the end of September) the date on which the Florida presidential primary would occur in the following (presidential) year.
But that committee had a fair amount of leeway in making its decision. The bill signed into law in 2011 gave the PPPDSC the ability to set the date of the presidential primary as early as the first Tuesday in January and as late as the first Tuesday in March. That is different from the 2007 bill that changed the law to permanently position the Florida primary on the last Tuesday in January on the calendar. Though the PPPDSC opted to schedule the 2012 Florida primary for the same date (as called for in that 2007 law), the mechanism by which that occurred was different.
The changes pushed through in the amended HB 7013 yesterday did not eliminate the early presidential primary; it eliminated the ability of Florida -- through the decision-making force of the PPPDSC -- to be more adaptive in selecting a perceived advantageous calendar position. It eliminated those options.
The curious thing is that this maneuver was not even necessary. If the presumed landing spot for the Sunshine state presidential primary in 2016 is the first Tuesday in March (more on this in a moment), then that was already an option under the law enacted in 2011. One could argue that the legislature was leaving it to chance that the PPPDSC would opt in late 2015 to select a date for the primary that would be non-compliant with at least one of the national parties' sets of delegate selection rules. That is true but it is difficult to fathom a scenario in which a group -- the PPPDSC -- selected by the governor, president of the state Senate and speaker of the state House would go rogue. The whole issue throughout 2011 in Florida was that the unwritten mission of the committee was to do just that: go rogue. But that was the guidance the majority Republican group had gotten from the legislature, the governor and the Republican Party of Florida. It was not to go rogue (with the scheduling of the primary) so much as it was to make the Florida primary relevant/decisive to the Republican nomination race. Again, it is hard to imagine a scenario where a hypothetical PPPDSC put together in 2015 would set a date that would conflict with a calendar position that those very same guidance-providing interests desire. If the state party, governor and legislative leaders wanted a "later" date, they would place individuals on the committee who would support such a move.
In that regard, this change is a needless one. It was not necessary. It certainly was not necessary given the justification that was circulated: that Florida was going to get hammered with penalties from both national parties. Nothing in the current Florida elections law painted the state into any corner as far as delegates or delegate penalties were concerned. As long as the window provided to the PPPDSC by law included January and February, the possibility of facing the super penalty on the Republican side was always present. That is, present but not assured.
As for the Democrats, well, there are no DNC delegate selection rules for 2016 yet, so the Miami Herald reporting that those sanctions would be worse than the Republican penalties is wrong [WRONG, WRONG, WRONG]. It is factually inaccurate to state that "none of the Democrats' delegates would count in 2016, nor did they in 2008". Again, there are no 2016 delegate selection rules for the Democratic nomination as of now. And on top of that, Florida's delegates "counted" in 2008. The Democratic Party in Florida sent a full delegation with full voting rights to the convention in Denver that year. There was a period between late summer 2007 and the 2008 convention where Florida Democrats lost half their delegates, then all their delegates, then gained back half again (told comedically here) before gaining them all back for the convention. Those delegate slots did not count during primary season, but the delegates selected did count at the convention. [Here's a full timeline.]
Finally, FHQ wants to talk a little about the language of this bill and what means for where Florida will end up on the 2016 calendar. The presumption is that the "first Tuesday that the rules of the major political parties provide for state delegations to be allocated without penalty" means the first Tuesday in March (March 1, 2016). I do not think that is the case. That is the highest probability landing spot, but it is by no means the only possibility. There are a couple of reasons why that is the case.
First of all, and to repeat an earlier point, there are no Democratic rules at this point. The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee may or may not continue with the first Tuesday in March as the earliest point that non-carve-out states can hold delegate selection events. That is an unknown right now, but FHQ is on record as saying that there is at this point little expectation for big changes on the Democratic side of the equation.
The second reason that it is anything but clear that the first Tuesday in March is the definitive calendar position for the Florida presidential primary is because of a semantic double whammy. For starters, it is an open question as to what constitutes the earliest calendar position without penalty on the Republican side. States can hold, as Michigan is seemingly going to do in 2016, a contest as early as the last Tuesday in February without penalty. With a shift in the method of delegate allocation, Florida Republicans could match that position. Secondly, the change in language in the Florida law does not require agreement between the major political parties on the issue of the earliest point at which states can hold primaries and caucuses. Without that sort of requirement, there are two ways of reading the proposed (It still requires the signature of the governor to be enacted.) law. Either...
As it is being widely interpreted at the moment, that is the first Tuesday where both national parties' rules are congruent with respect to the earliest allowed date. In other words, even though under certain circumstances the RNC allows for an unpenalized, non-carve-out contest as early as the last Tuesday in February, the Florida law requires the penalty-less window to be open in both parties before the primary can be held. ...or...
The other interpretation is the law is suggesting that when looking at both sets of major political party delegate selection rules, the state can hold a primary at the earliest point allowed by either parties' rules.
It is not clear which is correct, which is why FHQ is of the opinion that the Florida legislature will revisit this segment of the law (if signed) in future sessions. The first interpretation begs for the addition of a both whereas the second interpretation seemingly requires an either. Either way, one or the other will need to be inserted in the law at some point for clarity.
Now, there are a couple of caveats to add to that second interpretation. One is that one must assume that the RNC will stick with their rules and penalties are currently constructed. Again, it is open as to what constitutes the earliest date on which a contest could be held without penalty in the Republican rules. If that last Tuesday in February/first Tuesday in March loophole is left unchanged, then that may cause problems for the legally constructed scheduling of the Florida primary. Of course, that leads into the second and largest caveat. Much of this depends on what the Republican Party of Florida wants to do with its method of delegate allocation. FHQ has argued that under certain circumstances, Florida could abandon a non-compliant true winner-take-all method of delegate allocation in favor of a compliant hybrid method with an element of proportionality and still maintain or improve the state's influence over the Republican nomination process (as measured by the resulting margin of candidate delegates). The RPOF could make that switch and complicate matters and the application of this law by making the last Tuesday in February the first Tuesday that the rules of the major political parties provide for state delegations to be allocated without penalty. However, that point is moot if RPOF scraps that idea and maintains a true winner-take-all formula.
Of course, the catch is that Florida Republicans -- if avoiding sanction is the goal -- are going to have to make some sort of change to their method of allocation, otherwise the delegation will be reduced by half (depending on the fate of the may/shall question). The party may be comfortable with that penalty as it has proven over the last two cycles, but if unnecessary changes are being made to state election law based on the threat of a super penalty that may never have been triggered by the Florida primary, then who knows?
The big winners in yesterday's maneuvering in Tallahassee were the national parties and the carve-out states; especially South Carolina (which has had to push forward the last two cycles because of Florida to maintain its first in the South status). Overall, chaos was reduced to some extent for the front of the calendar. Yet, in Florida questions remain as to the true nature of this bill. Chaos, or more appropriately, uncertainty were increased on the state level. For the last two presidential election cycles, Florida has been a perfect example of the limitations of parties policing themselves on issues like the presidential nomination process. This case is different, but continues to demonstrate how the different party interests -- national parties, state parties, parties-in-state-governments -- interact with each other to accomplish that policing goal. In this instance, one can talk about policing being accomplished rather than it not being accomplished.
That is a welcomed development to the presidential nomination process. But it never had to be just Florida. All it takes is one state to be able and willing to challenge the national party rules. As the 2016 presidential nomination race continues -- yes, continues -- it will be interesting to see if any other state takes up the mantle.
Labels: 2013 state legislative session, 2016 presidential election, delegate selection rules, Florida, presidential primaries, primary bills, primary calendar
It looks this amendment abolishes the PPPDSC. Also the dates of various deadlines for the Preference primary are moved back approximately 1 month. This seems to support the idea of moving back one month which could fall on either the last week in February or the first week in March.
Also with Florida seemingly blinking, could this encourage the RNC to re-impose all the penalties?
Florida has been the worst offender over the last couple of cycles and if they are willing to buckle then the figuring goes that no one else will do it.

Progressivism is on the Rise in Superhero Comics
December 1, 2015 March 12, 2018 / Matt Petras
Not only does Steve Orlando's Midnighter comic star a gay man, it tells blunt, sex-positive stories about that character. The main cast of characters in the upcoming main Avengers comic All-New, All-Different Avengers has only one white dude.
While there is still a lot of work on the road to a utopia of complete social justice, there is a trend of progressivism in some of today's superhero comics that is impossible to ignore.
"There's certainly a long way to go, but [the comics industry] is moving in the right direction," said Orlando via phone interview on Oct. 23.

Catholic Fried Rice: Love says, "Move on."
The other day I heard a story of a woman who is in an abusive relationship with a guy cheating on her, but doesn't have the mind to tell her boyfriend otherwise and is yet afraid to leave him.
How many times have we seen this?
Love says, "I love you too much to let you treat me this way. It is not good for you or me"
Let's pray today for those who are deeply blinded in a relationship they shouldn't be in and is not good for either party.

Seasons of a Boy
A Story of Awakening to Life, Love, and Spirit
by Martin Lass copyright 2009
I don't know how long I'd been crying. It seemed like an eternity. I do know that at a certain point, my crying reached a new intensity—a new and ear-shattering pitch.
Somehow, babies instinctively know just how to produce the exact frequencies that cut deep into a mother's heart. Unless, of course, your mother has a heart of ice or stone. My mother was determined to teach me a lesson, to show who was the boss, to set the record straight, right from the beginning. It was afternoon naptime, and that was that. So, I had been crying my little heart out for the last several hours, my mother ignoring my infant pleas.
Eventually, exhausted from hours of crying, I quieted down to a few whimpers and finally fell silent. I wasn't asleep, though, but just lay there, looking out from my crib. Responding to the sudden silence in the room, I became very quiet inside. Time stretched out into long breaths, and the entire world seemed close in the hush of the sultry August afternoon. In the silence, I became aware of my own breath… coming in… going out… in… out… in… out… reassuring and soothing.
In this timeless moment, my attention was attracted by a play of light coming in through the half-opened window. The light hovered in the window, shifting and turning as it filtered through from the trees above. The curtains, gently buffeted by the summer breeze, took on a life of their own.
And, in the silence, there was a kind of presence—around me, pervading the room, around the house, encapsulating and unifying the world. It was alive, aware, and watchful. For an eternal moment, I felt held, in invisible hands, in the hands of love. It was a love that would never let one down, that would always be there, and that was the only truth, the only reality. I basked in this timeless, spaceless moment. My world was complete.
All of a sudden, though, my attention was distracted by the sound of my mother moving in the next room. The presence vanished, my awareness of it abruptly cut off by my shift of attention. The momentary completeness of the world was shattered, and there was only a crib, a room, a curtained window, and… a gnawing pain inside. And, as babies do, I started crying for my mother again.
The good thing about telling a story after the fact, particularly when telling about things that happened in childhood, is that, as adults, we now have words to describe things that we previously experienced in the raw, so to speak, without words.
As well as this, as adults, we have, hopefully, the hindsight and greater wisdom to be able to see how the pieces of our lives—the many scattered episodes—fit into a larger Tale, a complete and fully integrated mythology, one might say, where every smallest event and character has its perfect place and meaning. We don't see this at the time, of course—only much later, if at all.
As far as my tale, I couldn't have invented it. Who could have written such a perfect screenplay? I'm just a player in a larger drama, written by who knows who or what. I can only relate my experiences and my realizations about these experiences. Hopefully, by the end of the tale, you'll see and understand what I've seen and understood about my life and see that it's a perfect mirror of your life. The characters and events may be different, but the plot is the same.
So, this was my beginning. Beginnings determine endings, so we're told, but endings also determine beginnings, as strange as this may sound. And, bringing together all beginnings and endings—all the seasons of a life—is the ever-present moment of now… but I'm already getting ahead of myself…
(Chapters 1 and 2 are skipped in this excerpt…)
"Wake up, kids! Up and at 'em!" The curtains flew open, sunlight filling the bedroom. The cool summer morning air flowed like a fine liqueur over my sleepy face. It carried with it the smells of open fields, deep ravines, tree-arched avenues, and dusty vacant blocks, as the living presence of the world opened its arms to the waking dreams and epic adventures of children everywhere.
"We're going to the Wilsons' today, so let's move it!" Our Mom whisked out of the room. In the bed next to me, I could hear my older brother, Curtis, stirring. As soon as my eyes had adjusted to the assault of light, I jumped out of bed and rumbled onto my big brother's bed, punching him and shaking him.
"C'mon, you slug! We're going out!"
"Get lost, you… you… just go away!" groaned Curtis. I jumped off and ran downstairs to a waiting breakfast.
Finally, everyone was ready. Mom locked up the house, and everybody got into the car, Dad taking the driver's seat. I claimed a window seat in the back, Curtis claiming the other. Our little brother Tommy, now five going on six, was pig in the middle, as usual. There was the usual jostling of elbows, followed by dire warnings and something about "kingdom come" from Mom. The heady smell of summer mingled with the rich aromas of a large hamper of food in the back of the station wagon and with the faint smell of gas from the old car.
"Let's roll!" said Dad, as he fired up the engine. My brothers and I, favoring boredom to "kingdom come," stopped our jostling and settled down for the long drive.
As we drove, leaving the suburbs behind and entering the countryside, my thoughts wandered. I would be nine in a few weeks. I wondered what I would get for my birthday this year. My mind then turned to the Wilson kids and to what we would all get up to that day. As I daydreamed with the side of my face pressed against the window, the world panned by—trees, telephone poles, and road signs blending into one.
There was something comforting in the day, in the July landscape, in the car, in the family being together. It was something I couldn't put my finger on or even put into words, but it was as tangible as a hug. It held the world in a kind of vibrant but hypnotic spell. It was a kind of presence—as though the world was alive.
It was more than this, though. Everything was in its right place—no loose ends or sharp edges. All was right with the world. In these safe hands, no adventure seemed too big, too daunting, or too challenging.
As my awareness drifted into daydreams again, the sense of presence receded into the background, as though, like a living thing, it understood that the moment had passed, and that it would have to wait for another opportunity to jolt my awareness into a greater reality…
An hour later, the family car turned off the highway and into a little country road that meandered through a sunny wilderness. Between oases of trees, there were a few fields of corn and some meadows of tall grasses, broken by rabbit-runs and spotted with wildflowers, soft with summer abandon.
After a mile or so, a few houses appeared—a little enclave surrounded by the countryside. Dad steered the car into a gravel driveway, up a small hill, and stopped at the Wilsons' house. As the hot engine spluttered to a stop, my brothers and I climbed out, running to greet the Wilson kids, Dorothy and Frankie, who were falling out of the house to meet us.
We all loved our visits to the Wilsons, which invariably stretched out all day and half the night. Our parents would lounge around, inside and outside, talking about everything and nothing while sipping cool drinks and savoring piquant snacks. Their voices and laughter would blend with the cool morning, with the hot afternoon, and with the humid evening.
We kids would be off playing all day—inside for a while with toys and games, then out into the countryside for make-believe games and World Series competitions. On rabbit-runs, we would run, laughing and calling… Then stopping: waiting: listening: soaking up the gentle open silence… Then, we would run and play again, until hunger brought us home.
In the mid-afternoon, the dads would light up the barbecue—hamburgers, hotdogs, steaks, onions, and mushrooms. The moms would prepare the rest of lunch—potato salad, coleslaw, pickles, buns, ketchup, and sodas. The group would then come together amidst a unifying haze of barbecue smoke, eating, drinking, talking, and laughing under a summer canopy of trees.
For me, these kinds of days seemed endless, cupped in the hands of an unseen presence—a livingness that wordlessly sang the world, like a melody on some huge musical instrument.
This day was no different—at first. The day proceeded as usual, until, after lunch, we decided to play hide-and-seek. First, Curtis was "it," the others popping off like firecrackers to hide while he counted to a hundred. Once everybody was found, it was Dorothy's turn, then Tommy's.
When it was my turn, I counted to a hundred and raced off to find my friends, hoping to find everybody and win the "prize." What the "prize" was, nobody ever knew or said. It was only important to win it. After finding everybody else, though, I couldn't find Frankie.
Thinking I would be cleverer than the others, I ran off down the end of the road, searching beyond where we all usually played. As I ran, scanning the terrain, the little country road twisted and turned until the houses were gone, lost behind a bend and a row of trees. I slowed my pace, now a little apprehensive. Then, abruptly, the road ended at a T-intersection, the new road disappearing in opposite directions, quickly swallowed by the wilderness.
Still panting from the run, I stopped. I looked both ways down the new road, squinting into the distance for sight of my friend. Nothing. As my breathing slowed, the silence of breeze, trees, and grasses enveloped me, and I suddenly realized that I was alone.
At that moment, the pavement underfoot seemed very hard. The trees looked very large. Behind the trees, the blue sky expanded, opening into a dizzying infinity. Although the breeze was cool, perspiration now trickled down my face, and my heart skipped a beat. The whole world looked bigger than usual, as though it was being seen though a giant magnifying glass, every detail jumping out in stark and almost shocking relief. Time slowed. Almost stopped. The silence was broken only occasionally by the barren cries of wild birds in the distance and by cricket chirps in the hot grasses nearby.
As I stood there, something beckoned me, called out, begged attention. Was it in me? Was it around me? Where was it? What was it? Whatever it was, it made me start imagining the wild adventures that must lay down these desolate country roads, both exciting and terrifying. What was out there, waiting to be discovered—waiting to discover me? What rude awakenings were in store? What adult experiences lay ahead?
An involuntary shudder shook my body. I suddenly felt very small, very alone, very exposed, and very frightened. My feet became concrete, immovable, imprisoned in the pavement. The world loomed over me, encroaching upon my otherwise protected boyhood existence. A presence pervaded this magnified world, as though seeking its prey. I shrank away, but there was nowhere to hide. This world was too big. My heart was wrenched, torn from its safety net…
All of a sudden, it was all too much for me and, hearing a car approaching from behind, I ripped my feet from the concrete and leapt into flight. I ran, like a terrified deer, back toward the world I knew, back toward the houses, back toward my family and friends, back toward my cocooned existence. It was my turn to hide, to avoid being found or seen, to escape the probing and frightening presence that inhabited a suddenly huge and strange world.
When I reached the Wilsons' yard, the familiarity of it gave me a sense of safety and security from my would-be assailant. I let out a huge sigh of relief, shaking off the eerie feeling of the preceding moments. The rest of the kids had found Frankie, and they were all playing softball now. I happily joined the game, forgetting about the lost "prize" and about the confronting presence. I was content to allow the old and familiar world to hide me and swallow me up in its protective shell.
Soon, afternoon became evening, magically decorated with fireflies. I lay with the other children in the cooling grasses, and we all told stories while eating toasted marshmallows. I could hear our parents' voices drifting into the evening—soothing, reassuring, and sealing out the vast blackness of the unknown.
Later, it was kids' bedtime. My brothers and I were put into strange beds in a strange bedroom that was replete with strange smells. In the darkness, a glowing clock hummed on the bedside table. I watched the sweep of its second hand as it marked time. Wordlessly, the clock said, all is well, all is well. Our parents' voices, now more distant, carried on into the night.
In the small hours, we were roused and shuffled into the car. After the warm bed, the cool air was a shock. I could smell the earthy fields, cooling in the night, intermingled with the heady perfume of blossoms. Looking up, I saw the blazing stars burning holes in the velvety cloth of the sky.
With everybody bundled into the car and with good-byes exchanged, Dad started up the engine once more. He backed down the long driveway, turned into the road, and then headed home.
Curtis and Tommy were soon asleep, but I remained awake. I rested my head against the car window and looked out at the silent movie of phantom trees and burning stars. From the safety and warmth of the family car, my mind drifted back to the events of the day. I recalled my country road experience—my mixed feelings of excitement and terror, the way the world had seemed so huge, and the probing presence that seemed to be seeking me out.
As I looked out at the stars, I became aware of the presence again, growing, expanding, in me and around me, although I had no words for it at the time. This time, however, I wasn't frightened by it. Rather, there was a sense of promise in it, as though I could reach out along those distant country roads and touch the future.
There would be plenty of time for tomorrow, though—plenty of time for hide-and-seek, plenty of time to explore the ever-expanding boundaries of the world I knew, and plenty of time to grapple with the vastness of the intangible livingness of the world. Now, though, I allowed the steady sound of the car and the nearness of my family to wrap me in a protective blanket. After another few miles, I drifted off to sleep.
Headlights, warding off the dark unknown, turned from a little road in the country and onto the highway. Then, responding to a foot on the gas, the lights sped off through the deep night, with only a single broken white line to guide them to a distant home.

ASK Cubby, Version- More Of Your Letters, Loads More Of My Non-sense « Big Squid RC – RC Car and Truck News, Reviews, Videos, and More!
Cubby, I see that your crystal ball doesn't work so good. You mention a lot of stuff that never happens and I think you are straight up full of it. You can't get away with saying a truck is going to come out when it never does, maybe you need to get your facts straight before you post.
Cubby- Yo hey now Stanley, thanks for taking the time to shoot in an email.
Ya know Stan, your crystal ball is working perfectly. You've read it and found out that yes indeed, I make everything up (or pull it directly out of my rear). For seeing through the smoke deep into my brain, I have to commend you.
I am pretty lucky to be able to talk about things most other people won't. I'm also pretty dialed on the industry front, so I get to see/hear about a lot of new products wayyyy before they are announced. And on top of that, I've actually worked on putting out new products for the industry, so I have a lot of experience there too.
So here is the scoop. I'll start with a relatively recent example. I "predicted" that a certain big name company would release an FPV 8th scale 4wd monster truck. Well, I predicted that because of having first hand knowledge of said company going full bore on the project. Has that truck seen the light of day yet? Nope, it has not. Will it ever? Perhaps, but who knows for sure.
I do know first hand that a large percentage of the projects that I worked on in the industry, even some really good products, were never released. Market trends change, the cost of getting a certain product to the market can run up and be prohibitive, or the owner of the company just might wake up on the wrong side of the bed and scrap the entire project, even after he invested thousands of dollars in it. There are a whole lot of factors that determine what products hit your LHS shelf, and which ones simply fail to make it.
In the case of the FPV MT I mentioned above, it still has not been released, even though I was assured that it would be. But then, I know the technical hurdles of releasing such a beast. There is lag to overcome in the video feed, there is getting the monitor/glasses/cell phone feed looking pristine, then there is slowing down a truck that can easily do 40 mph out of the box, to a speed that is actually reasonable while being driven FPV. And… to top that off, I know that the surface world isn't exactly out there begging for an FPV RTR yet, so even if they get the truck perfect, it still might not sell because the market isn't ready for it yet.
In closing… yes, as always you should take everything in THE Cub Report with a grain of salt, and now you know some of the back reason why.
Is there a way to tell if my batteries are screwed up? When I first got my Turnigy Lipo I could drive for close to 10 minutes, now it lasts less than 5. I've had it for less than a month, is it worn out already? Thanks Cubby!
Cubby- Hey ya TIE, how are things? Thanks for the emails, if I've missed any I will try to catch up at some point before the next Star Wars movie comes out.
So… how can you tell if your LiPo batteries are any good? Well, driving them is tried and true. If you KNOW the rest of your truck is in perfect working order (including the speedo/motor/bearings/etc), and if it feels slow and doesn't run as long as you know it should, then there you have it, they have indeed gone "bad".
But the preferred method is to test a pack on a good quality discharger. Hopefully your charger has a discharge function with a decent amp rate. For example, if you have a 5000mAh LiPo, it is preferred to discharge it at 5 amps to check its capacity and internal resistance (if your charger has that function). If you have a 5000mAh LiPo, fully charge it, then discharge it at 1C (5 amps). It should indeed put out 5000mAh, something plus or minus 500mAh. If it only puts out 3000, or 2000, then yes, it is obviously shot, use at your own discretion (read- throw into the recycle bin at Best Buy then RUN).
You can also use one of those cheap "battery checkers" that shows the voltage of each cell. Typically one cell goes bad in a pack before the rest, so I suspect that you've had one go bad, thus giving you crap runtime and probably soft power output. Generally I've seen that most modern generation LiPos drive pretty well for at least the first 50 cycles, so if you haven't charged/discharged your pack at least 50 times then it shouldn't be "worn out" yet.

Sleeping Tree Sap is considered a legal drug in Skyrim and is highly valued for its ability to make people feel much healthier for a time, although side effects include temporary slowness and blurry purple vision. A spigot was installed on the Sleeping Tree in Whiterun Hold to harvest the sap, and the Khajiit trading caravans have been known to pay highly for samples.
